Photo Essay: Capture the Colour Contest

As you may or may not know, Capture the Colour is an annual photoblogging competition held by the generous folks at Travel Supermarket. By submitting five photographs (one under each of the following categories: yellow, red, blue, green and white), each contestant has a chance of being chosen for an Ipad, camera or maybe even the grand prize of a $3,000 travel fund.

A soft and mossy green hue extends the entire depth of this photo – taken during a hike along one of Algonquin’s many untouched and rugged trails.

White
Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, 2013.
Let’s face it, this colourful collection of fruit wouldn’t look half as appealing had it not been situated on a crisp white tablecloth and china plates.
